When the free trial of antivirus expires on new computers, most users turn to free antivirus software available for download online. Though they aren’t as secure and efficient as the paid software, many people would rather take the risk than to pay for one. PC World, teaming up with AV-Test.org of Germany, put some of the currently available free antivirus software against each other. Each software’s scan speed, detection rates and ability to stop malware was tested. Results showed Avira Antivirus Personal and Alwil Avast Antivirus Home Edition as the top two and were given “superior” ratings. AVG 8.5 Free and Microsoft Security Essentials Beta, being the next two, were given “very good” ratings.
